Technically speaking, when you cannot see the moon, it is a new moon. But my thinking is that if you can't see the moon, how can it be new? So my definition of a new moon is when you can see a smile in the sky because the moon is happy that it has just been born, but when you see a frown in the sky, the moon is sad because it is dying. Then you get the scientific "new moon."
When you see it up in the sky, yes! Venus is the second brightest object in the night sky. Our moon is first.
The First Quarter Moon is the phase of the Moon which is most easily spotted by the casual observer. You see the Moon in this phase in the south as the Sun sets. If the sky is clear at sunset, you can't miss the first quarter Moon. In this phase, the Moon sets at midnight. In a crystal clear sky, you can even see the first quarter Moon a few hours before sunset in the southeast.the cicle is new moon, waxing crescent,first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning cresent,then new moon again and so on so a first quarter moon is when you can't seehalf the moon.

The moon phase when you can see the entire moon illuminated in the night sky is called a full moon. It occurs when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, causing the entire face of the moon to be lit by sunlight.
I'd have to say the first scientist who saw the moon was the first one to look up in the sky...
What can we see in the sky because of gravity

In the sky, you can see clouds, the sun, the moon, stars, and sometimes airplanes.
If you see the Moon high in the sky in the evening, it is waxing. If you see the Moon high in the sky in the wee hours before dawn, it is waning.
To see the full moon when it first rises, look toward the eastern horizon. The moon rises in the eastern part of the sky and moves westward as the night progresses.
The first person to see the moon was likely an early human ancestor or prehistoric hominid. They would have witnessed the moon in the night sky without anyone else around to witness their discovery.
The first quarter moon is high in the sky at sunset, but for it to be high in the SOUTHERN sky tells us that you are in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, the Sun and Moon pass NORTH of the observer.
Yes, it is possible to see the moon and the stars at the same time in the sky. The moon is often bright and can outshine the fainter stars, but on clear nights with a waxing or waning moon, you can still see some of the brighter stars in the sky.

Yes the moon in the sky is for all to see. It is visible for all to see at night.
